- [R4] Color Block Not good: It’s copying block blast and is not challenging not that fun don’t recommend
- [R5] Color Block I voted this 5 stars so you'd see it: All of these reviews are quite frankly speaking lies saying it's a Good game . It lowkey has way too many ads it's lowkey that kids who are saying block blast is 18+ bc block blast is 13+ and way better bc it acc updates this fake copy is unoriginal and doesn't update. And the game is rlly slow don't even get me started and they say they update to fix bugs but
- [R6] Color Block Color block: So… just get block blast! This game is fine but it’s lowkey a knockoff! And some of the game is weird and want to be able to track my score like in real block blast. I won’t delete this but…. I like block blast better!
- [R18] Color Block What’s the point if you can just get block blast? But it’s fun i guess: I will get block blast and color block and block blast is just the same thing bro just add a update that is not a copy paste of block blast or something else
- [R1] Color Block Color Block: When I can play the game, it’s great but then up pop the same ads as Block Tok and I can’t make them go away - especially the ads for upgrading the game. Very frustrating. I shut off my computer to get rid of them or I leave the game and find a game more user friendly.
- [R3] Color Block Really bad: Too many adds knock off of block blast and it isn’t fun Do not download if you are board and developers fix this please and quickly or I will delete the app thank you but otherwise a great game
- [R10] Color Block I paid for no ads, now they are back: I love this game, I find it very relaxing. The reason I went with this version is because it seems to be the only one that offers an option to pay for no ads. However, with the latest update, suddenly I have ads again and I’m not able to restore my purchase. Trying to figure out how to contact the developer.
- [R13] Color Block Fun but…: It cannot be deleted from an IPhone once it’s installed. It looks uninstalled but it’s sucking your data sitting in your system & hidden data.
- [R19] Color Block App Crashes: Since the latest update, I can no longer play the game in classic mode. After placing two pieces, the game crashes each time I try to place a third. I tried to go to app support but didn’t see contact info.
- [R22] Color Block Gross: Opens and closes tabs and windows. Disgusting. Even when I lock my phone.
- [R23] Color Block Glitch: Hello I still think the game is very good but a glitch that has been happening for a while now is that any time I put down a block the game glitches and kicks me out. I hope that it’s a glitch that can be fixed
- [R11] Color Block Cool: This game is really fun it’s just that can the background change when completed bored and can you make it easier to get points that would be nice and I’m not trying to compare you to block blast im just can you make these changes
- [R14] Color Block Okay: It's fun but every time you get a all clear your background should change like block blast
- [R12] Color Block Adds: Too Many adds but it’s fun. Done
- [R51] Color Block Hell no: Wtf dude, I thought this game had no ads, it didn’t for like 3 days. I thought I actually found a good game, I thought it was by far better than block blast because in that game you get so many ads and it’s annoying! I downloaded it to not get ads!!!
- [R58] Color Block No ads: So I paid to upgrade so I would no longer see ads, and love the game. Unfortunately I continue to get ads. Do not buy the upgrade!!
- [R66] Block Crush! Solid, but the ads…: I may be missing it but I don’t see any way to upgrade to no ads. In this day and age, with so many ad-free or opt out games out there, having to wait through ads is a deal breaker for me.
- [R21] Color Block Copy of block blast: This game is a exact copy of block blast like they just hit copy and paste it’s fun but also just such a copy and nothing like the adds show it to be I am a little disappointed but it’s fun is a rate at 3 the extra 2 points are from it being like block blast but pls change it up a little bit block blast is definitely better
